I brewed my first IPA (https://www.homebrewtalk.com/showthread.php?t=25124) yesterday and put it to rest at about 2pm, pitched whitelabs California Ale yeast into just shy of 3 gallons of 1.058 wort @ 75 degrees. It's nearing 32 hours and there isnt much activity going on... A very thin, white foamy layer (which I presume and hope is the krausen starting) has just begun to form and the airlock is slowly starting to bubble. After discovering no activty after 24 hours, I gave it a good shake to put everything back into suspension and so far, not much is going on.
If by morning, it's still not working too hard, what should I do? The brewshop won't be open again until Tuesday and I don't have any yeast lying around with the exception of what small amounts I can collect from my previous batch, which would be the whitelabs edinburgh strain... What should I do??
Maybe I'll do a starter next time
